• Although four years at Denison are irreplaceable, Denisonians believe that the time spent at the fully-residential college should not be their best years.
• Instead, after four years of rigorous academics, hands-on experiences, and advanced career preparation, Denison students leave campus prepared to live a lifetime of best years.
• Denison’s “best-of-both” location provides students quick access to the resources in nearby Columbus, Ohio — the nation’s 14th largest city — while its picturesque, 900-acre campus and the New England style town of Granville provide an idyllic backdrop to everyday life.

• Innovative academic programs include data analytics; financial economics; global commerce; global health; health, exercise, and sport studies; politics, and public affairs; and journalism, among many others.
• Denison spends $800K annually to fund internships for students and Denison’s Internship Program, through the Austin E. Knowlton Center for Career Exploration, allows students to take advantage of internship opportunities beginning their first year.
• The Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts offers state-of-the-art facilities for the departments of music, dance, and theater.

• 99% of full-time faculty hold the most advanced degree in their field; there are no teaching assistants.
• Our faculty are true mentors, guiding students to explore their passions and achieve their potential by focusing on engagement, so our students gain critical-thinking, creative problem-solving, and exceptional communication skills.
• Denison offers 65 areas of study, across majors, minors, concentrations, as well as pre-professional programming.
